when you’re capitalizing everything in your life, at some point you run into the same question (albeit on a way smaller scale) that we ask about billionaires: what is the point?

Is Jack Hughes a feminist? Is Connor Hellebuyck a queer ally? Is the Stanley Cup my best friend?

I was having a bad day yesterday and my partner was like I know what will cheer you up and put on Shaolin Soccer (2001) and man, was he right

I’m assuming this is because my pfp on there is a funny screengrab of some event I did so they think, what, I’m ugly? I’m trans? Who could say! But it took up two more seconds of my brain space I could have reserved for looking closely at my perfect cat children or smelling fresh bread.

Idk why we’re talking about this but I’ll add my two cents. I hadn’t tweeted in a good long while, but when the Washington Post layoffs happened I sent a couple because I was upset about my friends. Immediately some blue check account responded to my heartfelt post saying “you’re not even a woman.”

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

How PA agencies under Shapiro’s control cooperate with ICE Gov. Josh Shapiro has not hidden that PA works with ICE, nor has he promised new limits on existing cooperation.

You cannot even imagine how weird it was to watch Trinidad with mics meant to record, not to amplify. But it was sick.

A week in Dilley: Annapolis alderman, local attorneys volunteer at a Texas detention center Marc Rodriguez sits at a bus station in San Antonio, Texas, surrounded by smiling women and children wearing red, yellow and blue T-shirts. For many, it’s their first day in weeks free from d…

I wrote about the Dilley Detention Center back in 2018 because a local elected official traveled down to offer legal support to asylum seekers. It seemed chaotic back then; I can't imagine what it's like now.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
